Consumer Comix

Not exactly an underground comic
book, though it was intended to look like one. Your federal
government (Office of Economic Opportunity) in conjunction with
the Wisconsin Department of Justice, used your tax dollars
to underwrite this educational comic book. The Cartoon Factory,
the art studio division of Kitchen Sink Press, created this comic
book. This explains why core KSP artists Denis Kitchen, Peter
Poplaski and Peter Loft did all the artwork throughout
(wraparound cover is a Loft/Kitchen jam).

The book was
distributed to high school seniors in Wisconsin, pointing out
the legal implications of turning 18. The stories entertainingly
show how young adults are often targeted by unsavory retailers
and lenders. As a part of the arrangement, KSP was allowed to
publish up to 10,000 copies for its own unsavory underground
comix market. We believe, however, that only 5,000 were actually
printed and distributed outside school channels by KSP. And this
is probably only a coincidence, but immediately after Kitchen
Sink Press received the federal grant to create this educational
comic, President Richard Nixon shut down the Office of
Economic Opportunity. NM/Mint condition.
